Get Missing items on Start Menu

While booting a system, the user finds the operating system working but with blank screen. In many of the problems faced due to Windows® errors one is that missing the items from Windows® Start menu. This problem is not occurring very often, but it may cause a lot more confusion for the users. In this case, the users think that may be the antivirus caused this problem or any of the spyware has caused it.

However, this is not due to spywares or any of the antivirus. The major frightening thing for user seems to be that recycle bin didn’t seem to be present anywhere, not on the desktop, nor in the computer. In this case, the properties in the Start menu became blank. In the same way FOLDER OPTION also shows these results e.g. (Windows® Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View (Tab)> Advance Setting Window). In this problem, all the icons are there, but in the program menu it says ‘EMPTY’. The reboot option cannot help to solve this problem. In fact, many other functions seem to be disturbed due to this and the user finds very difficult to understand that what is going on.
